Mood

<p><span>The small town of Mood is one of the principle knotting centres of Khorassan, the most easterly province of Persia, and its carpets display all the pervasive decorative complexity and splendour of ornament which identify the most sought-after Khorassan style. In this outstanding example of the type, a notably luminous and harmonious palette of locally-prepared dyestuffs is applied to a superbly composed medallion design in the classic Safavid approach, rendered in the distinctive manner of the Mood classification. Knotted with masterly assurance in lustrous Khorassan wool, this is a fine Persian town carpet of traditional decorative appeal. Excellent condition.</span></p>
